My name is Emily. I am a registered nurse and a baccalaureate nursing student.

Hello RNstudent (Emily)
welcome to the forum. I see this is your first post, so I thought I'd share some key things to know. 😄
All of the information you need about the forum can be found in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/weight-l...
The Events, Challenges and Clubs that we run, especially the weigh-in and the daily diary (pinned at the right of the page on a computer or scrolling to the bottom on a phone) are particularly useful threads.
If you haven't already taken it, here's a tour of the forum
I hope you'll find this a helpful place,
Best wishes 😄
Hi Emily,
The biggest barrier and difficulty I had to maintaining weight loss long term, was continually being told by GP and practice nurse to lose weight by avoiding eating fat, counting calories, prescriptions of Orlistat. A lifetime of diet ending up obese with a hernia. Best thing I did was to come here and listen to what some people were saying about fat NOT being the enemy it's made out to be and paying more attention to the amount of sugar and carbs I was consuming in my "low fat healthy" choices. In particular from the internet, I liked the work of Dr Robert Lustig (The Skinny on Obesity), Dr David Unwin (HOPE for diabetics), Dr Jane McCormack (Fatismyfriend). Worth looking at with an open mind. It's been working well for me.
